Corey Hart OK with Fuzzy Balls

After his breakout season of 2007 (24 hr/23 sb, .892 OPS), Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Corey Hart has saw his production decline in the past two seasons. This left him wondering...what's going on? Well, turns out Hart is nearsighted.

"It kind of started last year, but I didn't really think about it. I just kept playing. The ball was a little fuzzy at times, but I didn't think it was that big of a deal."

Hart plans on going the Chris Sabo route of correcting his vision, rather than wearing eyeglasses or contacts. That's right, the man who saw fuzzy balls is going to the ultra-cool sports goggles. Now that's quite the fashion statement.

"I'm hoping they work for me," he said, according to the report. I don't want to have any trouble picking the ball up. Right now, it's a little fuzzy."

I'm baffled he didn't decide to go with prescription sunglasses...that way he could wear them at night.
